He had wept them by the score. II
So he vaguely looked about him, III
And repenting, edged away,
When the editor, uprising,
Pressed the wretched wight to stay:
Take this seat" The tones were hearty
AS he offered his own chair,
And then ran his inky fingers
Through his wild, impassioned hair,
While he tossed his awesome caput
With literary style,
And looked down upon the poet
Through a meaning sort of smile.

Belongings of Modern Dress.
In these days of rapid locomotion the old
lime feeling of clinging fondness for the
:oof-tree and the hearth is merged into
owe of personal belongings, and the most
eminent object for such regard is the
pocket.
It is such an easy matter to let, sell, hire,
mortgage and dispose of the house, to set
screens to shelter the hearth, or depend on

others live in a scramble all around, with

The truth is, in the new distribution of

The idea that wealth implies duties, and

The Lucky Wife,
have heard story like this: A man in
England, employed as sexton at small
church, had wife possessing a very unfor-
tunate disposition. At the least provocation
from her husband she would become mute,
and remain so for several days; sometimes
the spell would last two or three weeks.
The husband bore with it kindly and patient
~ for a long time. Finally, he had recourse
to the following plan: The minister was in
the habit of walking around the church
among the graves every Sabbath morning.
One pleasant morning he met the sexton
walking there and looking exceedingly
gloomy. He inquired what was the matter.
The sexton replied that his wife was very
i'll, and had been for several days.
"Ah,'' said the minister, II am sorry to-
hear it."

spoken for several days, and you would con-.
fer favor by remembering her particularly
in your prayers this morning."
The minister promised that he would. After
the prayer was made the woman's friends

when service was ended, as many OF them
nassed by her house, they called to see ii

SURPRISED when they found her up, and very

she was sick from the prayer offered in
church. She knew not what to think, but
suspicion rested on her husband. The sex

all the visitors were gone from his house,

began to upbraid and reproach him. He ex-
